Stanford comes out on top with highest wealth / alumni ratio. Harvard surprisingly poor on this metric when factoring in the immense amount of old money there.

Wait up man, UHNW individuals and Harvard has like 3x the total of stanford. This data is laid out really strangely. It is pretty meaningless, UMich beats out Harvard but only have 2k alumni....
Are MBA's in here too? I wonder how much Buffet is pushing Columbia up if you take out him as 1 alumni and drop that down to 1.45B and drops each alumni 23MM?
Yes, I know, the point is that Harvard is massive compared to, say, the likes of Princeton and given the descendants of 2 centuries of WASP aristocracy enter as legacy, modern wealth creation isn't as high as it should be compared to rivals when 'prestige ' differentials are factored in
This is, without exception, the worst graphic I've ever seen.
